The trim is already in place and stained. Don't want to paint over it.

At what point does high-rise construction become too expensive
What I mean is: Is there a certain point in design where for buildings over a certain height the construction cost, start to accelerate ever faster?I've heard anything over 30 floors high, starts to get expensive. Due to construction costs and design that's needed.
